Evidence

Barrett's official blueprint lists the "Make it Count Act" as one of his concrete reform actions, describing it as a bill to limit congressional redistricting to once every 10 years after each census and to count only U.S. citizens toward district apportionment and electoral votes.

This is the clearest official sign of movement on the promise. It shows Barrett has introduced a matching bill, but the source does not show enactment, so the commitment is only partially delivered.

The official press-release feed's newest visible items in early June 2026 are about campaign finance, a town hall, veterans legislation, and Iran policy. In the current feed, there is no visible redistricting, apportionment, or citizenship-counting action tied to this promise.

Within the lookback window, Barrett's official site shows active work on other priorities but no visible new step toward this redistricting/apportionment promise. That keeps the commitment unresolved as of the refresh date.

partial same_term A for effort

Barrett appears to have taken a concrete same-term step on this promise by backing the matching 'Make it Count Act' in his official reform agenda, which aligns closely with the pledged redistricting and citizen-apportionment changes. But the evidence provided shows proposal-level action only, not enactment or implementation of the promised policy outcome. Under a federal legislative standard, introducing or advancing a bill counts as meaningful progress, but not full delivery absent passage into law.
